There's also

http://www.nru.us/hackers/vizzini/mongo/, but since the title anagrams to "Bait", I think it's a red herring. The binary translates to 78, btw.


If you break the binary up in 8 bit groups you get 01001110 01001111 which is 78 79 which is the ASCII for NO!

 		Minesweeper on my computer does not have a default game that is 25x25. Beginner is 10x10, Intermediate 16x16, and Expert is a rectangle. I tried making a custom mine field but the greatest hight you can have is 24 so a 25x25 mine field isn't possible in Minesweeper (at least the one that comes with Windows XP).

 		I _think_ "Argle Bargle? Glop Gliff?" is a standard error message on a MUD when you make a typo.

 		Oooh! http://www.nru.us/hackers/miraclemax/ doesn't have 'A bit' as it's title (A bit being an anagram for Bait as addlepated pointed out). That means there's a slightly stronger possibility we might find something more at the end of that trail, as the directories leading to turgenev1.jpg didn't have the A Bit title, either. Who knows.

http://www.nru.us/hackers/wesley/ returns a blank page. Although the character was Westley, not Wesley. Now to check Dread Pirate Roberts...

(these are characters from The Princess Bride, btw)

Dunno but found this:
Quote:
When chess moved to the salons and coffeehouses of Europe, writers Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy and Ivan Turgenev became aficionados and helped popularise it.

We'd previously only seen the conclusion of the game Maczuski-Turgenev (TEMCCA p44). Here, in full, is how the man with the largest brain ever recorded beat a master. Remarkably, the game transposed into the Sämisch variation of the Nimzo-Indian, 35 years before the birth of Sämisch and 25 years before the birth of Nimzowitsch.

Ladislav Maczuski - Ivan Turgenev- Paris 1861
Nimzo-Indian Defence Sämisch Variation (by transposition)
1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.f3 c5 5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Qa5 7.Bd2 Nf6 8.Qc2 Bd7 9.e4 dxe4 10.fxe4 cxd4 11.cxd4 Qh5 12.Nf3 Qg6 13.Bd3 Qxg2 14.Rf1 Nc6 15.0-0-0 Ng4 16.Rde1 h6 17.d5 Nce5 18.Nxe5 Nxe5 19.Rg1 Qf3 20.Re3 Qf6 21.Bc3 Nxd3+ 22.Qxd3 Qe7 23.Bxg7 Rg8 24.Reg3 0-0-0 25.Qe3 b6 26.Qxh6 Qc5 27.Bd4 Qxc4+ 28.Rc3 Rxg1+ 29.Kd2 Qxc3+ 30.Kxc3 Rg4 31.Qh5 Rf4 32.Qe5 Rf3+ 33.Kb2 Rg8 34.Bc3 Ba4 35.Qd4 Rg2+ 36.Bd2 Bd7 37.h4 Rff2 38.Kc3 Rxd2 39.Qh8+ Kb7 40.h5 exd5 41.exd5 Bf5 42.h6 Rxd5 43.Qf6 Rc2+ 44.Kb4 a5+ 45.Ka4 Rc7 46.Kb3 Rb5+ 47.Ka4 Bd7 0-1

Could the O-N-E refer to a chess move (of which I know absolutely nada)?

The Waco Kid and Mongo are from "Blazing Saddles"
Vizzini, Miracle Max, Fezzik, and Wesley are from "The Princess Bride"

The order seems to always be: Hackers/The Princess Bride/Blazing Saddles

I haven't tried any characters from "Signs" yet.

I've tried every Signs character I can find on IMDB, in several of the trails, and so far I've got nothin'...
